Broken Window Theory?

On a fine Monday morning in DC I walked briskly down the street rocking out to my music in the sweet sunshine without a care in the world.

I then stepped into a cross-walk moments before the little man showed up on the "walk" sign and next thing I hear..."Mam!! Please show me your license!"

5 Minutes later I proceed again down the street again a little more cautiously having just received my first moving violation in years. A TICKET FOR JAY-WALKING!!! I am twenty dollars poorer for having stepped into a crosswalk 5 seconds too early.

Must be sort of the broken window theory for white-collar crime...they start with jaywalking and end up in tax evasion?? I don't know...
